«Pájaros a punto de volar» is the psychological short story collection by Patricia Highsmith, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Fourteen posthumous stories written between 1938 and 1949: psychological portraits of helpless characters, such as homeless urban dwellers, sharp-witted girls, or lovers trapped in their daydreams. Far from suspense, they capture everyday monotony, the search for spiritual affinity, and the pain of those struck by life.
First edition 2007. Volume 423 of Anagrama's Compactos collection. Translation by Isabel Núñez.
Patricia Highsmith was an American novelist and short story writer widely known for her psychological thrillers, including her series of five novels featuring the character Tom Ripley. She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories in a career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing was influenced by existentialist literature and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene.
